Loculi, 2025

Granite, basaltic dolerite, snail shells & steel c-clamps. 

Loculi (Latin for ‘little place’) is the name of a gridded burial compartment that houses a body, like a snail’s shell —enclosing the organism within. Together architectural–organismic, archaeological–autopsical, Loculi performs aspeculative dissection of space, architecture and body.

Shown as part of the exhibition GLOAM X free house at Grand Union’s Juntion Works, Birmingham.
